Ouachita
('wah-shi-tah)With the local Southern rock and blue-eyed soul scenes consistently on the rise, it makes sense that someone would try to fuse the two.

While musically adept, the results come across as second-rate Little Feat or Dr. John outtakes instead of anything groundbreaking or rousing.
